Board. There were 4,728 superficial yards in this work,
and the coat was £332 19s. 6d.; say 1s. 5d. per supeficial
yard. Independent of the above, I laid the Tar Payement
in the undermentioned new streets, viz.:—Queen Adelaide
Road, Part of Anerley Grove, Clarina Road, and Penge
Place, together about 2,100 superficial yards. I had great
diilieulty in obtaining a sufficient quantity of Tar, and at

and the Quaggy to the Plough Bridge, was laid with Burnett's
Patent .Asphalte, at a cost of 4s, 10d. per superficial yard for footways and 12s. for roadways.
There are 1343 superficial
yard in the path, and 22 .superficial yards in the crossing
near the "Plough." The path form the north Kent Railway bridge to the washway and the paths over lewisham Bridge
&e., have been commenced and nearly finished, but I must give
the cost of these in my next report. The pathways along the
Lewishum Road, from Granville Park to the boundary with
Greenwich, was laid with concrete by Messrs. Wilkinson, of
Newcastle-on-Tyne, their price per superficial yard being
3s. 6d. far 1½n. work, 8a. 9d for 2-'in. work, and 4s. 3d. for
the gate entrances—the Board preparing the foundation.

been done by Burnett's Asphalte Company the cost would
have been £1,099 1s. 8d. There arc 3,641 superficial yards
of footway, besides kerbing, in the work. of course in these
